Generic bowdlerisation. It would be unfeasable to list every possible permutation of letter substitution. – Nixinova [‌T|C] 00:24, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Inclined to keep this just because of its usage and widespreadness. At the same time though, "It would be unfeasable to list every possible permutation of letter substitution." is imho an example of a slippery slope. Every permutation would have to survive RFV individually. With Micro$oft & $cientology, they're attested as individual words, and a word's "uniqueness" is not a criterion for inclusion, unless they fall under the exclusion criteria (like SOP) which they don't seem to fall under. Words with infixes, suffixes, replacements, or otherwise shouldn't be excluded just because usages are described elsewhere. I would personally send @55 to RFV though.

We had the discussion while ago about whether to keep things like f**k. I said no; consensus said yes. Equinox ◑ 15:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Delete. A mention in the Alternative forms section of ass should suffice. I'd also be in favor of putting a soft/hard redirect in place for these articles that link to the uncensored version. Do we really want to open the floodgates for n1gger and f4ggot? I'd be much happier without these as standalone articles on here. --Fytcha (talk) 10:52, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Alternative forms have always been reason to create the entry, if they can be attested. If they can't, then they aren't listed. Why would this be any different? DAVilla 03:21, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Clearly widespread use. Keep. DAVilla 03:21, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
